Yup, head const is not part of the language. You'd have to find a 
library solution or write something yourself.

Your emphasis suggests that user could break things for your code. They 
can't. Any changes to the length will only affect the slice on the 
user's end. They can only fool themselves. That may be bad enough to 
warrant a more restricted return type, but for your code it's safe to 
return a plain dynamic array.
